If you have some issue such as the following: - Re-launch process [smbd] appears in System Logs - No users are able to access the NAS via Windows Explorer - Trying to edit folder permissions in the administration page cause it to jump back to the login page
Then it might be a corrupted Samba configuration file. Follow the steps below to fix it:
1: Access the NAS via SSH, using the admin account and password. (PuTTY Download: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html)
2: Change to the backup config directory For legacy volume (older NAS models): (if you have single-disk volume replace MD0_DATA with HDA_DATA) # cd /share/MD0_DATA/.@backup_config
For static volume/storage pool (newer NAS models): # cd /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.@backup_config
3: List the contents # ls
4: Unzip the backup config. The most recent backup will start with 0_..., the next most recent with 1_... and so on # tar -xvf 0_20121212_0304.tar.gz 5: Copy the backup config file to the /etc/config directory # cp etc/config/smb.conf /etc/config
6: Restart the Samba service # /etc/init.d/smb.sh restart 7: Delete the backup config unzip folder # rm -r /share/MD0_DATA/.@backup_config/etc
8: Verify the service works again. If not, try again from step 4 with an older backup config
